import (absolute path) suggestions break in 1.17 with @typings installed

[wesleymostien]

Problem:

Path suggestions for absolute paths (configured in tsconfig) break for import statements in version 1.17 as soon as @typings are installed.

Without the @typings folder anywhere in the project, everything works fine.
In version 1.16.1 it even works fine WITH the typings installed :

But when I do for instance :

npm i @types/node

after that is installed, this is what I get for suggestions instead of above screenshot (it seems that it only suggests installed types) :

Steps to Reproduce:

1. configure absolute path for typescript project in tsconfig. eg :

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6",
    "lib": ["dom", "es2015", "es2017"],
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "@*": ["./*"]
    }
  }
}

2. start typing

import whatever from '@/'

Reproduces without extensions: No (doesn't work either way)

I believe the original suggestions may have come from your path-intellisense extension. I say that because I don't know think we ever properly supported the paths config option for our built-in path intellisense (microsoft/TypeScript#19113)

Using VS Code insiders, can you try setting "typescript.quickSuggestionsForPaths": false. This should prevent our built-in path intellisense from automatically kicking in

I've tried with latest VS Code Insiders – import path autocomplete does not recognize tsconfig's paths option correctly. Keys from the paths map appear as is, they are not being processed from globs to matches.
Tried with and without quickSuggestionsForPaths, path-intellisense extension.

Version 1.18.0-insider (1.18.0-insider), 2ab10d5, 2017-11-01T06:07:36.569Z

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6",
    "lib": ["dom", "es2015", "es2017"],
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "~/*": ["src/*"]
    }
  }
}
